BRUSSELS

Master Sculptors Of Zimbabwe in the 21st century

The exhibition is a distinguished selection of 30 unique pieces of art from contemporary stone sculptors of Zimbabwe. The group of artists represents three generations, with Sylvester Mubayi as the veteran, who has been exhibited in London and elsewhere with great acclaim as early as the 80’es.The younger artists carry the art form forward, building on traditional ground and paving new ways for it, in abstract forms, with humour, strong expressions, daring forms and challenging balances, as well as sheer beauty.It is characteristic that there is a certain collectiveness connected to this art, in which each master find his own ways and expressions, which he develops in a fruitful companionship with his fellow artists.These artists all know each other and many of them work daily at the same place in Zimbabwe, where Friends Forever has been a part of providing ideal production facilities, such as good quality raw stones of many colours and types, as well as tools and shaded areas, and free food.We are proud to present these masterpieces to a European and internationally orientated audience.
